District updates student device policy

What happened

The March 24 published version states: Device use is generally prohibited during instructional time. At elementary and middle schools that means first bell through dismissal; high-school lunch and passing periods are generally non-instructional.

Why it matters to families

The policy affects when students may use wireless devices.

The evidence

Policy 5136 says it was revised March 24, 2026. The board approved a later October update package; the public manual has not yet reflected those changes, and implementation was not verified.
